Baked brownies

Yes obviously they are baked. But this recipe comes from the Baked Cookbook and apparently Oprah thinks that these are the best brownies in the entire world. They're pretty good, but I still prefer the Denver Brownie.

I halved the original recipe and baked it in a 9x9 pan.


Baked Brownies
Recipe adapted from Brown Eyed Baker

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 plus 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 5 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (a little less than 1 cup)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Method:


Preheat oven to 350 and put parchment paper in a 9x9 pan, then spray paper with Pam.
Melt butter in a saucepan and remove from heat, add chocolate chips and coffee and stir until completely combined.
Add sugars and stir to combine.
Add egg yolks and stir gently, then add whole eggs and vanilla and stir gently to combine. If you over-beat the batter here you will have a light cakey brownie and the goal is to get a dense heavy one instead.
Pour chocolate mixture into dry ingredients and fold gently.
Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.
The brownies are done when a knife comes out almost completely clean from the center.
